Weekly Post, Dec 26

Well, only a day behind. Not too bad. We had a wonderful,
albeit busy Christmas holiday. Everyone has a slew of new toys to play with
(including myself, yeah!) and hopefully it will keep the kiddos entertained for
a while. We’ll see.

I was marathon baking last weekend. Friday I made a batch of
Italian egg bread (we refer to it as Easter bread), a batch of our potato pan rolls, and stuffing for Christmas dinner. On Saturday I made 3 pies and a batch
of cinnamon rolls. We are so carbed up it’s ridiculous. I have never been big
on New Years Resolutions, but after this carb-fest I might need to re-think
that concept.

My husband loves-loves-loves turkey dinner! It is absolutely
top of his list! That might be partly related to the fact that I only do it 3
times a year, but never the less, he’s always excited about it. We made a huge
turkey for our wee family this year to ensure plenty of leftovers. Soooo,
though I have a menu for the week, it’s kind of a “back-up plan” should the
kiddos get sick of turkey.

I am excited to try an herb pack in the Crockpot Bob’s Beef
to see how it helps the flavor. I am also hoping to finally get some more
recipes on here, including the biscuit recipe I’ve been using and the chocolate
banana muffin recipe I’m loving right now.

I am also experimenting this week with pizza bites. Always
looking for yummy finger foods to enjoy on movie night. Hope you are living it
up this last week of 2016! It’s been a wonderful year for us filled with new
experiences and lots of fun! Enjoy!
